AAAAAAugh!

Howdy, folks, I have a slight little problem I'm trying to work on:
I want to run something similar to a screen saver (actually, the idea is
similar - if HC is idle for so long I want to do something).

Well, the most straightforward (at least to me) idea was
on idle
   put 1 into i 
   repeat while idle
         add 1 to i
         if i > someValue then
            blah blah
         end if
   end repeat
end idle

however, no go.  Any other ideas/ suggestions?

Thanks,
Mike.
